ESP are the UK’s largest independent multi-utility adoption company, with over 1.1m residential and I&C connections across electricity, gas, water and wastewater. ESP partners with developers to streamline complex utility network challenges, delivering tailored solutions that supports efficiency and project delivery timelines.
ESP is a registered Independent Distribution Network Operator (IDNO) regulated by OFGEM.
We own and operate thousands of electricity networks across the UK, ranging from low voltage (LV) to extra-high voltage (EHV).
Our focus is providing efficient, safe, compliant electricity solutions for our developer partners, ensuring that sustainability is at the core of what we do.
Whether it be powering residential developments, commercial sites or Electric Vehicle charging stations, ESP delivers performance, safety and reliability across our networks.
When considering which IDNO partner to nominate to ensure the success of your development, there are several key factors to keep in mind, ranging from design flexibility through to legal support.
At ESP, we’re renowned for effective delivery, providing continual benefit to our Partners.
Design Flexibility for Tailored Solutions:
Our customer focussed in-house design team supports clients through every stage of project development. We rapidly provide design verification and ensure that bespoke solutions are implemented to meet specific project requirements.
This flexibility allows us to adapt quickly to changing demands and deliver superior outcomes.
Optimised After Diversity Maximum Demand (ADMD)
Understanding the load profiles of low-carbon technologies is essential in today’s energy landscape. Our deep expertise in renewable and emerging technologies such as electric vehicle (EV) charging, solar power, and battery storage systems enables us to optimise ADMD effectively.
This insight grants us the agility to support the decarbonisation and decentralisation of electricity networks, helping our clients reduce their carbon footprint while enhancing network performance and maintaining network resilience.
In House Legal Support
Navigating the legal agreements required can be complex and time-consuming.
To streamline the process networks adopted by ESP are managed by our inhouse legal team from design to energisation and adoption
This ensures timely completion of the necessary legal consents, reducing delays and facilitating smooth project progression.
DNO Interface Management
Collaborating with Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) is crucial for successful project delivery. Our proven experience with upstream DNOs in managing Point of Connection (PoC) applications and interface matters allows us to guide our clients through these processes effectively.
This collaboration supports the development of commercially viable and cost-efficient electricity solutions tailored to client needs.
High Voltage (HV) and Extra High Voltage (EHV) Network Expertise
Our operational knowledge of HV and EHV networks equips us to offer innovative, solution-oriented support to clients developing primary and grid substations.
By focusing on creating smaller footprint and more cost-effective infrastructure, we help optimise project costs without compromising on quality or reliability.
